No, a doctor can not tell the exact dose of methadone, their body is not yours, you are the only one that can work with your doctor to reach the good dose that will help youe comfortable in your road to recovery.
Only a doctor or registed personal at the methadone clinic can tell you what will help with methadone withdrawel
they can't tell. the only way you can measure the levels of methadone currently flowing through your system would be a blood test. they just make sure that you're taking your methadone - not how much.
Your doctor probably weaned you off the Methadone too fast before switching you over to Suboxone. Methadone takes a LONG time to withdrawal from. I would definitely tell your doctor that you're still feeling withdrawals from the Methadone so he can help you. Hope you feel better.
Severe scoliosis can compromise the lungs, and an overdose of methadone can depress respiration. Taken together, there may be a greater risk of adverse affects, so the prescriber should be aware.
tell a freind that your taking methadone because methadone is all about the peer pressure. Your relative or freind will take you to a treatment center
If you will some day please ask a doctor for a medication. And also tell that doctor to give you the EXACT RIGHT medication. Thank You.
It has in fact been noted in a large number of cases that clindamycin appears to reduce the blood level of methadone in methadone maintenance patients, hence causeing acute methadone withdrawl. This has not been proven, but a correlation has been shown in numerous cases in which methadone maintenance patients have been prescribed a cycle of clindamycin, only to return to the doctor with reports that the clindamycin made them feel even sicker than they had been in the first place. I am not a doctor, I am the boyfriend of a 22 year old woman who has been on methadone maintenance for 3 years. Recently, she had a dental infection for which the physician at the walk-in clinic prescribed clindamycin. She took it for a few days, and with each passing day she felt sicker and sicker, in a way that she could only associate with acute opioid withdrawl. Finally, she came to the theory that there may be some kind of negative reaction between the two medications, and looked it up on the internet. Upon reading various articles and reports, she found that she was not alone, and that there was scientific evidence that implied an adverse reaction between these two drugs, and that the result could be withdrawl. There are lots of antibiotics available now, and if you are alergic to one or more, you still have a palette of options. Consider it an allergy, if you are on methadone, then you can just tell your doctor that you are allergic to clindamycin, or that you are on methadone and have read on wiki answers that clindamycin is known to have a negative effect on methadone treatment.
Please someone tell me. I just started lithium, but have been on methadone for years.
No. A clinic will truy and tell u that the methadone will block the effecfs, but this is also not true.
Do not do this unless your doctor tell you so. Methadone is much more potent than most people think. The half-life of methadone is anywhere from 8-24 hours or more. Adding another opiate to it as strong as morphine is asking for trouble.
Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes. I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.
No, they may mix in dye to distinguish where it was dispensed or something for the flavor, but they don't tell you they gave you x amount but really give you less.
